A common racist tactic is to take something bad that was done by a few individuals and hold all the members of the race responsible for it. For example, when there was some violence during the Black Lives Matter movement, Fox News pundits blamed the entire movement rather than the few individuals who actually committed the crimes. (It's essentially a covert way of implying there's something inherently wrong with the entirety of the group they're talking about without actually outright saying it.)
Blaming the whole for the actions of the few is exactly what you're doing here, except, rather than doing it with a specific group of humans, you're doing it with the entire human race. I didnt kill a baby dolphin, and neither did you, so stop generalizing.
So would you admit that CNN calling everyone on the Right side of the protests Nazis is also a dehumanizing racist tactic? Cause I agree. Blaming everyone for radical beliefs held by few isn't right.
